A 24-year-old man fell 14 stories to his death Sunday while trying to stop a teenager from committing suicide, according to authorities.

The fatal incident occurred around 2 a.m. at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, according to Hawaii News Now.

Police said the man who died was attempting to bring inside an apparently distraught 19-year-old who had exited onto a ledge of the Hale Wainani dormitory in Honolulu out of an upper-story window. Both men fell from the 14th floor and were critically injured. They were taken to a hospital, where the 24-year-old was pronounced dead and the other man remained in critical condition Monday.

Neither man was enrolled at the university, according to reports.
